From article <MACRAKIS.92Aug12123444@next4.osf.org>, by macrakis@osf.org (Stavros Macrakis): > .... > Note, by the way, that even if there ARE health effects of power > lines, they drop off rapidly with distance. Assume that the lines are > 50' high and the conductors are 20' apart. Then the field strength at > 900 feet is about 2000 times less than the maximal field strength at > ground level. I have to object to that. Objectively, the field strength falls off rapidly with distance. But the article I read in Science said that even if the health effects are confirmed, the available evidence suggests that the health effects do not always decrease with decreasing field strength. And before you dismiss that as hopelessly paradoxical, note that the electrocuting effect of current does not always increase with increasing current. Marty marty@hoqaa.att.com hoqaa!marty Martin B.
